Shabbat shalom, Nazarene Israelites.

1. PRAISE REPORTS, PRAYER REQUESTS, UPDATES: 17 May 5784 (2024)

a. Shavuot count 5784 (2024)

18 May 5784/2024 (beginning evening 17 May) is the 7th Sabbath in the count of 7 Shabbatot and the 50-day count from Yom HaNafat HaOmer up to Shavuot (Pentecost). Shavuot is on 19 May 2024.

Shavuot represents the Erusin in the ancient Hebrew wedding ceremony. This is when the engagement between Yeshua and His brdie is formally annouced (and thus becomes lawfully binding). It is a day of no servile work.

Vayiqra (Leviticus) 23:21
21 “And you shall proclaim on the same day that it is a set-apart convocation to you. You shall do no customary work on it. It shall be a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.”

3. SABBATHS, NEW MOONS, AND CALENDAR EVENTS:

a. New Moon 4th Hebrew month: 7 May 2024 (expected)

The new moon of the fourth Hebrew month is expected to be visible on 7 June 2024. The date will be confirmed upon the official sighting (or by the 30-day default). Please remain attentive for updates.

Note: 11 March 2024 was the confirmed declaration of Rosh HaShanah (the beginning of the Hebrew year). For more details, please visit Torah Calendar News 2024.

b. Upcoming Discipleship Meetings: 

All meetings are at 8 AM Colombian time (always UTC-5, but watch your Daylight Savings Time adjustments). The Discipleship Meeting is a discussion between disciples. It is generally 1-hour long but may run longer depending on how the Spirit leads. For more on NI’s description of discipleship, please see NI’s Discipleship program.

19 May 2024- Shavuot (Pentecost)
8 June 2024- New moon meeting (expected)

Note: If the monthly Discipleship Meeting coincides with the weekly Shabbat Meeting, the Shabbat Meeting will take precedence, and new moon discussion will be combined with the Shabbat meeting. However, in the case of a Feast Day Meeting coinciding with a Shabbat meeting, the Feast Day Meeting will take precedence.

For Yahweh’s Feast Schedule for 5784-5785 (2024), please click here.

Rosh HaShanah and the first month feast dates are confirmed. Seventh month feast dates are “expected dates“.
These dates may change by a day or two, depending on when the new moon day of the 7th month (September 2024) is confirmed. 

d. Why the FirstFruits Torah Calendar?

Every year we receive questions about the Firstfruits Torah calendar and why it differs from Karaite, Jewish, and Messianic, and Equinox calendars. The different calendars that exist can (and do) cause a lot of confusion. But if we follow Scripture without adding or taking away from Yahweh’s word, we see that there are significant errors in the Karaite, Jewish, Messianic, and Equinox calendars.

We explain these errors in the following studies, as well as why it is important to follow the true Firstfruits Torah calendar in order to observe Yahweh’s feasts at His appointed times only.
